Planning to visit Ethan at UNC on Tuesday?.....

...CANCEL YOUR TRIP! Ethan is going home to be in his natural habitat! Gray-C is ready. Mom and Dad are DEFINATELY ready! DRs say Ethan should be ready to go home on Sunday or Monday. He might go home with an NG feeding tube that goes down his little nose into his throat, all the way to his stomach. We've got a little machine to measure the oxygenation of his blood once a day. All in all, we are so used to being around this type of medical equipment, it shouldn't be a very big deal. He'll be on 3 medicines - all taken by mouth. He is currently off his oxygen... we tried to take him off it before and he wasn't quite ready. He's been off it for 6.5 hours and his stats are still good so he might stay off it this time. Thanks for your prayers, thoughts, emails, and letters. They have made these 23 days much easier to deal with and have given us supernatural peace.
